What I often hear my Dad say in Danish with a very similar structure to
the English counterpart and with the same meaning is:

"Jeg giver ikke fem potter pis for..."
Meaning, "I won't give five pots of pis for..."

But what I often hear in Denmark is:

"Jeg er bedøvende ligeglade"
Literally meaning, "I'm numbingly indifferent"
